โ€œWhen we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity.ย Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences.ย For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!โ€

"eChai isnโ€™t just a startup community โ€ฆ itโ€™s a mindset .ย eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. Itโ€™s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. Iโ€™ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here โ€” people who genuinely want to see you succeed.ย Itโ€™s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. Iโ€™ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders donโ€™t just grow businesses โ€” they grow together."
